We do need badges of honor.

For example, I thought the Bernie group was a safe place, I was wrong. If I got to put marks on my sleeve for my hidden posts, I'd start to run out of sleeve, I can see.

I saw the link to your post. It is very informative and interesting. I was especially struck by

"Only in TX and SD are candidates who lost the primaries or were made to lose through voter disenfranchisement NOT permitted to run as independents. Both are expected to vote Republican."

What an incredibly unfair rule. I wonder what bizarre reasoning they came up with to try to make that sound reasonable.

Our entire voting system is starting to stink.

I have seven hides in seven weeks.

My state, Rhode Island, allows write-ins.
